The Designer

Ariana Bohling is a Brooklyn based handmade shoe brand. Ariana began making shoes in her studio in Brooklyn beginning with delicately braided Italian leather sandals. Since then she and business partner Alyson Kurtz have expanded production to Peru in order to maintain quality handmade products produced by local artisans in small workshops. Ariana Bohling believes in fair trade practices that provide good working conditions & livable wages in order to promote sustainability of the artisans, their industry, and the art of handcrafting shoes. To ensure quality standards & working conditions Ariana and Alyson spend time in Peru to oversee the production and development process of the collection each season. All shoes are handcrafted from 100% leather and all components are sourced locally in Peru. All slippers use elements of Alpaca fiber or pelts which are sustainably sources and cruelty-free.
